Also I noticed that
1. We don't allow creating publication with individual sequences (e.g.
CREATE PUBLICATION pub FOR SEQUENCE s1;). Is it because the main
purpose of this sync is major version upgrade and we do not have
scenarios for replicating a few sequences or there are some technical
difficulties in achieving that or both.

2. This syntax works (CREATE PUBLICATION pub FOR ALL TABLES,
SEQUENCES;) but tab completion doesn't suggest this

3. Some of the syntaxes works for sequence which doesn't make sense to
me, as listed below, I think there are more

postgres[154731]=# CREATE PUBLICATION insert_only FOR ALL SEQUENCES
WITH (publish = 'insert');
CREATE PUBLICATION

postgres[154731]=# CREATE PUBLICATION pub FOR ALL SEQUENCES WITH (
PUBLISH_VIA_PARTITION_ROOT );
CREATE PUBLICATION
